Leveraging Our Employees as STEM Ambassadors in Our Communities
Leveraging our employees as STEM ambassadors in our communities.
Our employees are our greatest STEM ambassadors. They are passionate about STEM and embrace opportunities to inspire students toward a future in STEM fields. We engage our people in this effort by offering a variety of STEM-related volunteering opportunities around the globe.
In China, for example, Qualcomm customer Xiaomi Corporation shares our passion for spreading STEM education in local communities. In addition to our business relationship, we collaborate to provide diverse opportunities for employees from both our companies to engage in community STEM projects. For example, more than 24 Xiaomi employees and their family members volunteered for activities, such as our STEM curriculum teacher trainings with Shanghai Adream Charitable Foundation.

Biocom Institute's Festival of Science and Engineering
The Biocom Institute Festival of Science and Engineering in San Diego is an annual 10 day educational experience featuring interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities, and dynamic speakers — all aimed at engaging kids and families in STEM.
Hundreds of community businesses and organizations, including ours, participate in the festival, which is free to the public. More than 17,000 people attend.
2020 marked our Company’s ninth consecutive year of involvement. Each year, more than 60 of our San Diego employees proudly volunteer to support this fun and exciting event. STEM ambassadors from our Research & Development, Wireless Reach and Thinkabit Lab present their projects to inspire students and create awareness of the wide variety of STEM careers that are available within the technology sector. As a result of the pandemic, Biocom has moved much of it’s programming into a virtual platform where teachers can easily access curriculum and videos.
